I'm in a tired funk, but I gotta write something
It's past midnight so forgive my sloppy words.
What's been going on? Oh man, I learned tonight in Base Chapel that we have these giants. Yes even currently here in Cape Town, in this nation there are these giants. Spiritual warfare. It's real. It's foreign concept to me but it's so real. There's a demon of greed here, and once I heard him say that I so know what he felt.
I mean there's homeless on the street and I'll still get them beggin no EXPECTING me to give to them. It's not even a question, it's a demand. Therefore I see me even reflecting this clearly in my life. My work. Lord what am I doing? I don't have a car, I don't have a constant home, I don't have a team, I don't have a mission statement even written to a T. Lord I don't have instead of proclaiming that it's in the joy of the Lord I find strength.
I lose my money it shouldn't rock me! We're not here to just be smiling because once God is in our hearts and running our lives, then that's when the devil really wants to attack. We're threats. Life will get more obstacles because we're deadly weapens for following our father.
We carry his word and once we help spread that and plant this mystery and joy in others, our army is increasing. We're battling those demons. Look at Paul's life. But man what joy he found. I need to do that. I feel so down so often when I need to remember he's my strength. He never changes. Whether I actually know what I'm doing, whether I have 1 billion dollars to do it or not, he's still here with me. He doesn't tell me well done good and faithful servant because you won the soccer match or you told 10 million people to abstain from sex. He loves me just because. I'm sorry father I forget.
Website still not fixed up, the direction of this campaign is getting a bit changed only because it could get bigger. BUT< in a fantastic way. Long term. Companies, organizations, people here want to see and know what's going to happen AFTER the world cup. What will we do after? FIFA is out and no more vision is upon this nation. So what do we do here? Well, we use this energy and excitement to push a campaign for change. YES we do what Uganda did and change the nation's problem with HIV/AIDS by sex education proclaiming abstinence. Apparnetly the ABC's are what's on the agenda, but ONLY the C is really tuaght. Honest. If you go to the beach here, train station, restaraunt, whatever there's condom stands everywhere being sold, just claiming, hey WHEN you have sex here use me. What?
So, we at least prevent things from getting worse by using this abstain2010 and then with the accountability of this statement and declaration, the government, nation, seen by the world, will HAVE to rise up and go forward with this change. A strategic plan of course.
So that's being rewritten and Cristian's working on HIV stats to be as clear and conscise, which we still can't.
Fantastic news about our little video: we have a friend named Aibe who's going to create it himself. He currently works for animation company called Triggerfish and he's going to do this on his own time!!! AMEN! What a blessing. Man, so happy and he also said it doesn't seem too hard. We gave him our concept and already images we had and he's going for it! YES! It's a start or at least a story board to use later. Lord thank you, and Aibe thank you!
Praying Frankie is working on image/graphic, still need more help I have nothing so far. soon...
Ah, what else has been going on? Uh, I did get out to Kommetji yesterday, onthe other side of this cape. Our new French neighbors were jamming there. Saw the most beautiful sunset and it was such a treat to get out and see beauty, be aroun dgreat company, and yes had a burger :)
I couldn't sleep yesterday no matter what I tried and so after I got home, FINALLy I made it. Trouble shutting off brain. Even to pray. Please keep me in your prayers to keep my focus on the Lord and hear him, so I can shut off my brain when I need to and when I need to use it, switch on to his tune.
Oh man, been swimming a bit. Ah, sorry my brain's shut down. I gotta go crash. I love you all and thank you for support, Dad, Mom you're doing great. thank you and pastor Steve, thank you as well! The church is being felt! I thank you!
Oh and trying to write 2 articles too. 1 to aim towards newspapers/mags local, whatever, and then 1 to YWAM becuase my leader Paul is super excited and wants to know more how he can help, where to help, and he's right, let others in this field know what we're doing. Who knows who wants to volunteer here with me on our team.
Oh Lord please rise up some great folks to join me more full-time!
